Please place a download link instead of a link to your website. Thanks.
If you need me you have my skype, if you don't have my skype then you don't need me.
Its faster for me to zip a file on my own sever and than place it on the projects website then it is to zip it and upload it to another location for download. I link to my site instead of the download directly because the site gives me the ability to control leaching and more. I coded this launcher and decided to post it here for people to download and you are going to grief me on where you have to go to download it? If its such a big deal just delete the post and I will make sure not to post any more of my projects on this site.
The download link rule applies to everyone, so you can either follow that rule (now that you know about it), or don't post. 2dgreengiant is just doing his job as a moderator, and it has nothing to do with griefing you.
Seriously, show some respect to someone who dedicates time and effort to keeping this section clean. You're not a special case, the rules apply equally to you as they do to everyone else.
I also take issue with this. Once you release it to the public, it's released. If you feel like you need to control who can download your work, you probably shouldn't be releasing it.

Can you link me to that rule please?
Sure. Take a look at the second post in this thread.

So its a rule that the mod decided on its not posted a rules in a sticky some where?
That's right. I don't believe there is a sticky.
However, being in this section a lot, i've seen this rule applied on numerous occasions.
Either way, it's irrelevant. It only becomes a problem lacking a sticky if he had punished you for it, without you having been aware of the rule.
That's not what happened. A moderator politely asked you to add a different download link. At that point, you either do what he asked, or ask for the thread to be closed.

Then close the thread!
Making people go through your site to get a download link is not fine.
This is because it pretty much counts as advertising.
If a moderator asks you to do something, you do it.
